That could work.


<.<

Darn you and thank you for solving that. I've been looking for the last hour.



Have you looked in the thread thingy where Myself first mentioned the zombie idea?

Seriously? An hour?

That's what you get, being all logical and scientific. Gotta think outside of the box...

What ideas do you have for surviving in the carbon dioxide?


I have a semi-workable solution, but I want to hear your ideas.

Well, technically, it would have to be simple inversion of human alveolar capacity. That'd mean they couldn't breathe the oxygen/hydrogen/nitrogen cocktail we breathe. And they'd basically be the equivalent of human plants, sans the photosynthesis.

OOH! And then, in like 50-100 years, their inverted respiration could terraform the planet, making it suitable for some NORMAL humans to survive there as well (provided we find a way to deal with that pesky sulfur as well, which should only require a comfy anti-sulfur suit; if we can genetically engineer our people into alien-like superhumans, we can certainly engineer some folks smart enough to make anti-radiation/chemical/poison suits for the normal humans back on Earth to make themselves at home...)

I thought it might be more interesting to have them produce their own oxygen.


They'd have special skin cells that contain chloroplasts  (Like these)

Only some of their skin cells would produce the chloroplasts.. So you'd end up with weird green patterns on them.


The skin cells photosynthesize with oxygen as a waste product. Basically, they wouldn't even really need to breathe. This would also mean they would require less food (Sugar produced).

Um...then they'd be...

Green.

I think our alien brothers and sisters would find that offensive. And if they are as advanced as conspiracy theorists think they are...

O.o     we don't want that...

Not ENTIRELY green.

It would look more like they had patterns and shapes dyed onto their skin.

Anyways I have a question concerning my character's power (geo-metamorphosis). What would happen if you were to turn to metal, then weld somthing to yourself, then change back to normal? Would the object you welded on just fall off or fuse with your skin or somthing else?

I posed this same question in the comments of the power, but never got an answer.

Probably fall off. But you can't turn to stone with Geo-Metamorphosis, can you?

Bow before your unimaginably powerful overlord!

Wait a minute, I'm currently too busy holding a cork in mid air for petty groveling.

that depends, if you broke the suface of your skin or not, the odds are part of your skin would still  be at least partially fused to your skin, it would have to be forcibly ripped off because your body would be slightly permeated through the surface of the substance.
Welcome one and All to the Jesters Carnival, where the prizes are greater than your wildest dreams, but the nightmares here shall silence you before you can even scream.

Myself are you going to write the introduction between the two groups? or should i write something soon?
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

@WHD

@Miscreant: My group (philote, victor, some humans) and Myself's group (Everyone else who was on the zeppelin) just joined up after my group was rescued.

Edit: I'll write it tomorrow (If he doesnt want to, or in case he doesnt have time), so the story doesnt get behind.
